If you read my post properly, it was addressed to Arron, because HE will understand.

No offence, but it's an old timers thing.

You must be because this board isn't about Subaru enthusiasts anymore, it's all about every prize ****** and his wife slagging the marque off.

Seeing as we're generalising, are Clio drivers slappers???

Porsche drivers lack ***** size.

Evo drivers have incest with their mothers.

BMW drivers practice beastiality.


There, that balances it up a bit!

oh dear Dazza you do talk some.
No quicker than an STI with ppp
I just had one of thos with a custom PPP map so where do you get that from.
My car is nearly and I say very nearly as quick as my mates MR340!!!!
STI ppp will never pull full boost upto the redline like a WR1 but hey what do I know.
anyone with any intelligence will do the sums on an 05 STI....add the springs bump stops wheels DCCD-A grills etc and you have WR1 money plus a bit and a car that there will be 1000`s off???
WR1 please read "DIFFERENT" colour and very nice.

I heard that Prodrive asked Dealers not to sell Arron a WR1 apparently they were concerned he would spoil the manly image of the WR1's He must have just used an assumed name LOL

See ya at Bedford

Nah, they asked all the dealers not to sell one to Aaron as they couldn't afford the warrenty replacements over the next 3 years

If you see a WR1 in round here and it looks like it's been stolen, don't worry, it's just Aaron driving (or so I've been told by a reliable source.......)

Apparently drew is aware of Arrons car control but isn't worried about warranty issues. He said "Arron could have played the part of the old man in 'Driving Miss Daisy', so the most Subaru have to worry about is a clogged exhaust".

Even Simon drives faster than Arron
